Happy Thanksgiving.. Its not what we were taught in grade school.

This is just my opinion, yours may vary and is no less valid.

Merica was built on happy stories.

Nice way to ruin my pristine notion of the meaning of Thanksgiving, WaPo! Does this mean there will be a War On Thanksgiving in addition to the War on Xmas?

Good article.

I guess I subscribe to the George Washington notion of Thanksgiving. And I always figured it was the Indians who probably provided most of the food at the feast.

Maybe it's because I'm from California, but pilgrams never had much to do with Thanksgiving.

The mis-remembering of the history of Thanksgiving also sort of makes it more American in a way. I like it!
